Habitat
The rufous-bellied Bush Tyrant typically inhabits humid montane forests, favoring areas at the forest edge. It is also found in secondary forests, often distinguished by human disturbance or vegetation regrowth following land use changes. While it shares these habitats with related tyrants, it distinctly occupies secondary growth areas, with both species coexisting in disturbed forest environments.
